We are a Silver Plan participant and the checkup for our 27 yr. old furnace was OK. Only 4 days later there was a problem and parts had to be replaced so we had no heat over the week-end because the parts could not be obtained till Monday. That was completed and we had heat. On the coldest day of our winter Jan 7th the motor gave up and he had one on the truck. We are again with heat.

Air conditioner condenser shirted out killing the fuse. Cost of replacig the condenser was almost equal to a new unit because of the end of the year special. Unfortunatey the blower system on our furnance could not provide the air flow required by the new air conditioner so we haqd to also replace the furnance. Passed inspection and has worked well since indstalled.

They also made sure the job looked good and was easy to use when they were finished. |Top notch provider.
Description of Work: We use Berico for our propane supply. We were having a built-in outdoor gas grill installed and hired them to run the line. |They evaluated the site and offered a couple of options, showed up as scheduled and did a great job.

We are pleased with the results of our install. We talked to four companies and a guy working "on the side" before making our decision, and chose Berico at a higher price because we were more comfortable with their professionalism. Other companies' reps reminded me of used car salesmen. After installation, we had a complaint (cosmetic), and they fixed it to our satisfaction. After that, they made a follow-up call to be sure we were satisfied.

We ordered oil by phone (as usual). When the oil was delivered, we received a $25.00 surcharge for ordering too late in the day which resulted in the additional delivery fee. We were not told this on the phone. An email was sent to Berico stating our dissatisfaction. Berico offered to send a check for the $25.00 to reimburse us for the late order fee and we were asked if we would continue to order our fuel oil from Berico. We said we would decide when we got the check. We never got the check.

Mrs. [Member name removed], We are sorry to hear of your concerns. To double check, are you sure you are referring to Berico? We have reviewed your contact information and address and do not have a delivery to this address since 2010. Furthermore, we have looked through old emails and cannot reference your dissatisfaction. By chance do you mind contacting our office at 336-273-8663 so we can look into this further? We certainly want to look into any situation where we may have let a customer down. Yet in this case, with the information we have, we are unable to identify this particular situation. Sincerely, Will Berry

Purchased Big Deal furnace annual inspection/maintenance. First Berico scheduled technician without informing us and we were not home. Rescheduled and tech arrived on time and ready to go. He provided a maintenance check and all was fine with furnace. But, when ask about the condition of the furnace filter, he had not checked and I had to show him were it was...he checked, said it was fine and did not replace. In all such experiences I've had with other companies, changing the filter was an automatic at least every 6 months. | |Otherwise, thought the service was good, not just as complete as I expected.

[member name removed], Thank you for your great feedback. Without this information we cannot grow as a company. In respect to the Big Deal purchase, you absolutely should have your air filter inspected and checked. We will be sure to research this with our technician and ensure this is not a common occurrence. Also, while on the subject of filters, we do have a great filter service at filterfetch.com where many of our customers are able to order and receive free shipping with our code C4Q2.

The removal of the old unit and installation of the new unit was done within an 8 hour period as they had quoted. This time frame also included the removal of 3 old nonworking attic fans and the installation of 3 new electric attic fans. Also, during the install, the attic drop down stairs cracked and Berico replaced the stairs at no cost to me and arranged to have them painted professionally.

I have had Berico for over 25 yrs. They put in my present system of a heat pump/AC for the upstairs, and gas furnace and AC for the first floor. This has been very satisfactory, and allows me to heat or air-condition separately or together. I get a kick out of getting mail from the power company telling me that my (80 yr +) home is one of the most energy efficient homes, according to my electrical bill.

Bericco gave me the best deal for the most energy efficient AC and heating unit. The fall special of having 1/2 price on AC units made them very competitive to other providers. They were very professional and punctual. They performed all the work that they promised 100%. The new units are performing very well. Also a representative came through the house for a walk through and verify that the work was done properly. He inspected and cleaned the working area of any remains that they installers left. Also Berico takes care of the paperwork that is needed for credit to Duke energy and for the federal tax credit.

The technician told me that an "electronic igniter" was a very expensive part, but amazingly, he just happened to have one in his truck. I was charged $275.63 for a part which I found after some research could have been purchased for about $30 anywhere. I contacted the owner of the company and received a discount (no where near what the part should have cost, even allowing for normal profit and overhead add-ons) . Even though I did receive a small credit on the bill, I feel that service providers who gouge or even attempt to gouge customers, shouldn't be in business.

[member name removed], I want to send our sincere appreciation for your feedback. Though we try to exceed all customer's expectations, we recognize there are times where the customer has a different perspective then ours: and we want to hear it! I will certainly attempt to explain some reasons behind the expense of your call, but ultimately if you do not feel this is adequate, I am more then happy to speak with you by phone at 336-273-8663. In respect to your charges, we have a flat rate billing process. The expense of our repairs includes all costs behind a repair in one price; i.e. the time, labor, vehicle, and administrative costs for the job. We do not bill on a labor plus part structure. The flat rate billing allows us to quote repairs prior to doing the work, but after we have a diagnosis of the repair. This way the customer is not penalized if we take longer then expected to make the repair, plus they can approve the work to be done up front, or chose to wait until it can be afforded. In review of your repair it took a total of 2.98 hours to complete. If you would compare this to a company who bills for time plus parts, assuming a $96/hr rate (which is very low for the industry), the time alone would be $286.36. Then adding the part, assuming the $30 expense you mention, your call would be then be at $316.36. This would not include any additional fees or profit added as many companies do. Using this example, I am trying to demonstrate how our prices are fairly competitive in our industry. Other variables that I want to point out, that may not be considered when comparing our pricing to others are 1.) All of our repairs on your igniter are guaranteed for a year (many companies do not do this). 2.) The igniters found online or at various part stores are often of different quality then dealers can obtain. 3.) Consider the training and expertise that goes behind making your call right and trustworthy. Many service providers in the industry do not take these three components serious and ultimately jeopardize the long term quality you receive. At Berico, we want our customers to have "always dependable" value vs. the cheapest rates. I also want to point out that our service plans are a great way for our customers to save money on their repairs. For example, we offer 20% discounts on repairs for our Silver Service Plan customers. Again, I am not disputing your concerns, and I'm glad to speak further about your concerns if you are not satisfied with our explanation above. I can only hope that the details above help ease your concern and allow us to regain some of your trust as we move forward. Sincerely, Will Berry
